Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act, prohibits health insurance issuers and group health plans from restricting pharmacies from informing enrollees about the difference between the price of a prescription drug under the plan and the price the enrollee would pay for the drug without using any health insurance coverage.
